    Seemed to take ages to locate the wreckage I recall.

    Both engines seized???????????
    Yes, that was the one. I think he was making his pilots use unapproved dodgy mixture control techniques, which screwed the engines...

    Can we get CASA in on the TDV6? Sounds like they might get a result.

    I don't think the recall had anything to do with CASA (or its predecessor) - the recall occurred before their report, but did not rate a mention in the report. It was the result of a number of other engine failures. At least some of which presumably showed manufacturing defects.
